More Cumberland woes ahead Sometimes we get a great countywide story from a neighborhood meeting. That’s the case with Betsy Pickle’s coverage of Anne Wallace at an outfit called What’s Shakin’ South Haven.

Wallace told the group that problems on Cumberland are “going to get worse. Beginning June 8, all lanes between University Commons and West Volunteer (except for one westbound lane) will be closed for six weeks.”

Surprise teacher

By Wendy Smith West Valley Middle School math teacher Chris Price never thought of himself as a superhero. But, thanks to the West Valley Honor Society, he’ll be able to “fly” down the hall in a shiny red cape.

Price received a new electric scooter, purchased with donations from students, parents and teachers, during a recent assembly at West Valley. The gift was a surprise after months of covert fundraising.

He was presented with the cape by fellow teacher Amy Crawford. Not only does Price love superheroes, but he’s one himself, she explained.

This is Price’s sixth year at the school. He was diagnosed with a mild form of muscular dystrophy at age 18, and the disease has progressed to the point that teaching

has become a challenge, he says. He can no longer climb stairs, and long hours on his feet leave him exhausted at the end of the day.

Several months ago, Price mentioned during lunch that the process of obtaining a scooter through his health insurance looked bleak. Crawford, West Valley Honor Society sponsor, floated the idea of a fundraiser to the group. They accepted the challenge.

“I was impressed and surprised to see how many people wanted to get behind it,” she says.

The group raised over $2,300. After purchasing a scooter for $1,400, extra funds allowed for the purchase of a battery, a charger, the cape and a siren − to get students out of the way when Price goes down the hall, explained honor society members.

The math teacher was tearful when the students presented him with the scooter.

“This will allow me to do what I love, which is to teach,” he says.

He praised the school staff, who have become like family to him. He’s been able to develop good relationships with students, too, since he switched from teaching seventh grade to eighth. The transition allowed him to have several students for a second year.

Crawford praises Price’s teaching. His lessons are engaging because he’s able to think like a student, she says. He also has a great sense of humor.

“The kids say he’s the most hilarious teacher on the staff.”

Eighth-grader and honor society member Paige Victorson agrees that Price is an amazing and well-liked teacher.

Eric Satz has modest record for TVA board Mayor Rogero appropriately issued a statement of condolence and concern for the tragic stabbing that occurred May 3 on the Third Creek Greenway and pledged to increase police presence on greenways.

Victor Ashe

The questions that need to be asked are how many additional officers will be deployed and what is their schedule in general terms?

Secondly, how long will this increase in police activity on the greenways last?

No one asked that of our mayor’s communications office.

Greenways are an important part of what makes Knoxville special.

Users must feel they are safe. Chief David Rausch is an able police officer who deserves to have regular weekly meetings with our mayor.

■ President Obama has slighted East Tennessee by nominating Nashville resident Eric Satz to the TVA board to replace Neil McBride, whose term expired two years ago. East Tennessee now has no one serving on the nine-member board while Middle and West Tennessee have four members.

It is very important with the TVA headquarters being in Knoxville that at least one member be from Knoxville or the surrounding area. If Satz is confirmed it may be two or more years before Knoxville and our region sees a board member.

Satz merits scrutiny by our two senators given his modest record for serving on the board. His own U.S. Rep., Jim Cooper, a Democrat and Obama supporter in 2008, does not know him and was not consulted

by the Obama White House on this appointment. Satz is also considered difficult to work with and high maintenance for staff. He is not good at returning phone calls. Is he a nice guy?

My inquiries tell me he is the recommendation of Democratic fundraiser Bill Freeman, who is now running for Nashville mayor.

Freeman is a mega-bundler for the Obama campaigns, which apparently counts for more than what our congressional delegation thinks.

The good news is that the U.S. Senate is under new management and must confirm the Satz choice if he is to go on the board. He is a venture capitalist with at least one failure on his record. That was Plumgood Food, a grocery delivery service in Davidson County for organic and natural foods. It folded in 2008, which Satz blames on the economy and not on the work of him and his wife, Kate. Forty people lost their jobs. There should be extensive research into his qualifications.

Hopefully Sens. Corker and Alexander will hold out for an East Tennessee appointment. They have the power to halt this nomination from going forward.

■ Bob Gilbertson, owner of Bob’s Liquor and Wine Stores on North Winston Road, has sold his store to a Nashville firm effective in July. Gilbertson achieved international attention last year when he refused to sell Russian vodka in protest of Putin’s invasion of Crimea. It’s unclear if the new owner will maintain the same policy.

He has owned the popular store for 43 years.

■ House Speaker Beth Harwell, a potential GOP candidate for governor in 2018, will be at a fundraiser for state Rep. Roger Kane from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. tomorrow (May 14) at Don Gallo Mexican Grill on Hardin Valley Road off Pellissippi Parkway.

Brent Johnson moves to private sector Brent Johnson is leaving the city’s engineering department after 27 years to join Vaughn & Melton Consulting Engineers in July as the senior project manager Johnson directing water resource efforts. The city is losing a heap of institutional knowledge.

Johnson headed the department under Mayor Bill Haslam. He was nudged to planning and kept his pay but saw multiple administrators piled on top of him in the Rogero administration.

Word on the street was that Johnson had supported mayoral candidate Ivan Harmon, a former inspector in his department. Ouch.

This writer met Brent as a young engineer trying to explain the “oxbow” effect of

First Creek at Broadway and Fairmont. The city bought and destroyed the Pizza Hut and widened the creek bed.

None of my Arlington-area friends have flooded recently. There’s no word on the evil oxbow. Does it still lurk beneath Broadway, awaiting the next big rain? Or was it straightened out?

Best wishes to Brent Johnson. Managing storm water is a thankless task, and he’s done it well.

began accepting applications at 8 a.m. May 12 and will continue to do so until 1 p.m. Thursday, May 21.

The federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program provides qualified applicants with money to rent an appropriate place to live from private property owners.

“Last year we had 1,700 people apply, but only 700 were actually eligible to receive Section 8 support,” said Deborah Taylor-Allen, KCDC’s housing director.

The waiting list gives preference first to displaced people, then to homeless people and finally to people with a disability, she said.

Taylor-Allen said that applications are time-anddate stamped, with preference given to the people who apply the earliest.

“Not all who apply will qualify to be on the list,” Taylor-Allen said. She said

that families who are “rentburdened” – have too high a rent for their income level – will not qualify unless they have been displaced from housing through no fault of their own, are homeless or have a disability.

KCDC encourages people to apply online using their own computers or public computers at libraries and social agencies. The Section 8 office at 400 Harriet Tubman St. will have six computers available to applicants and will provide help to those who are not able to use a computer. The hours for the Harriet Tubman site are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily until the process shuts down.

Taylor-Allen said people on the list will be asked to fill out an in-depth questionnaire when their names come up. The Section 8 staff expects that it will take a year to go through the list.

ter than it used to be,” she said. “We had people on the list for four years between 2010 and 2014. People would move or lose their qualifications to be on the list.”

The shorter application window means the process will be much more manageable and the wait will be much shorter, she said.

KCDC has the capability to issue up to 4,000 vouchers. Currently the office is overseeing about 3,700 Section 8 leases between property owners and tenants.

Taylor-Allen expects between 500 and 600 to apply in the office.

Last week, on May 5, 90 years to the day after Rhea County High School teacher John Scopes agreed to get himself indicted for teaching evolution, former Circuit Judge Harold Wimberly led a conversation at an event called the Southern Railway Stump S p e e c h about the Trial of the 20th Century, demWimberly on s t r at i ng the chops that made him a hometown hero as a member of the University of Tennessee’s 1962 G.E.

After the book got ditched, the UT president fired a bunch of professors who had participated in the protest, and Neal, who had been only peripherally involved, got the boot as well.

The following March, the state Legislature ratified the university’s position by passing the Butler Act, which prohibited teaching human evolution and became the basis for prosecuting Scopes, who

Bob Woodruff remembered, finally Thirty years after Bob Woodruff retired and 13 years and six months after he died, the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame has found him worthy of enshrinement.

If he were alive, Bob would be speechless.

He often was.

Woodruff did some very interesting things as Tennessee athletic director, 1963-1985. Before he even got the job, he had Doug Dickey penciled in as the new football coach. Without realizing it, Bob hired geniuses to coach track and swimming. All he really knew about Chuck Rohe and Ray Bussard was they didn’t cost much.

Far over my head was Woodruff’s concept of encapsulation, a seasonal bubble over part of Neyland Stadium to house a basket-

Marvin West

ball arena. As you know, more conventional wisdom prevailed.

I admired the way Woodruff outmaneuvered Joe Paterno and arranged back-toback football games against Penn State in Knoxville.

Woodruff generated many and large donations and greatly improved Tennessee’s athletic facilities.

He wasn’t much for patting himself on the back, and because he never ran for public office, many never heard of his accomplishments.

Privately, Woodruff was

known for long pauses in what others thought was conversation. I was once the young sportswriter who asked penetrating questions that still haven’t been answered. I never knew if extended silence meant he was shaping thoughts or just waiting until I went away.

“Bob was the oratorical equivalent of a blocked punt” was the single most descriptive sentence about the former Volunteer tackle. Woodruff, dumb like a fox, never debated the subject.

Woodruff was born in Athens, Ga., went to high school in Savannah and was a better student than athlete at Tennessee. Robert R. Neyland asked him to stay on after graduation. He was an assistant coach for three seasons.

During World War II, Woodruff was an Army officer in the corps of engineers. Highlight was two years as an assistant coach under Earl Blaik at West Point. Bob concluded military service as a major.

Woodruff coached for ex-Vol Bobby Dobb at Georgia Tech, exceeded expectations as head coach at Baylor and hit a jackpot at Florida. The Gators wanted him so badly, the Florida Board of Control approved a ridiculous offer, a sevenyear guaranteed contract at $17,000 per year, far more than the university president was receiving. Woodruff was 34.

Frank Broyles of later Arkansas fame became Woodruff’s offensive coordinator.

Unexpected developments forced Dickey, a reserve defensive back, into a quarter-

government was found guilty and fined $100 but subsequently had his conviction overturned.

Wimberly turned cryptic when Clay Crownover, a public relations guy who represents the Blue Slip Winery and the Historic Southern Railway Station and is the organizer of the Southern Railway Stump Speech, asked him to draw parallels between the Monkey Trial and modern-day educational controversies.

“Anything is possible,” Wimberly said, with the faintest of smiles on his face.

Wimberly declined to directly address the bill making the Bible Tennessee’s official state book –

which passed, but wasn’t signed into law because of constitutional problems – or any of the other legislative forays into textbook censorship or the promotion of creationism. But it was easy to connect the historical dots.

Crownover, who labels himself “a Joe Biden Democrat,” said he envisions the Stump Speeches as a way to air issues that don’t get talked about enough, particularly issues that pertain to the history of Knoxville.

“I’d like for people to say what they think regardless of consequences and take the heat from the people in the audience.”

back vacancy. Doug saved a season.

Woodruff coached Florida from 1950 through 1959.

His teams won a few more than they lost. Two played in bowls.

One Gator, talking out of school, told of a Woodruff pre-game exhortation, an adjusted version of a Neyland maxim: “Remember, the team that makes the fewest mistakes makes the fewest mistakes.”

All-American tackle Charlie LaPradd said his coach’s long periods of silence “would make you wonder if he was 30 minutes ahead of you or 30 minutes behind.”

Eventually, Woodruff wore out his Gator welcome.

He dabbled in the oil and gas business, then returned to Tennessee as line coach for Bowden Wyatt.

When Wyatt was fired, Woodruff and Jim McDonald locked up in a death

struggle for the job. Players favored McDonald. He became interim coach. Consolation prize? Woodruff became interim athletic director.

McDonald’s team went 5-5. Woodruff, expert at reading tea leaves, kept his eyes on Dickey, assistant at Arkansas.

The moment of truth came on the evening of Nov. 30, 1963, after the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game. In a bitter three-hour argument, one faction of the UT athletic board wanted to bring home Murray Warmath, Minnesota coach. Andy Holt, UT president, favored those who supported Woodruff’s leadership.

Stormy meeting, close call, feelings forever fractured, but a legend was born.

I say the forthcoming Hall of Fame recognition is richly deserved. A little late but …

Conversation builds faith and friendship

By Wendy Smith Recently, nine native Mandarin speakers gathered around a table with Robin Nelson, an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher at Northwest Middle School.

They played Apples to Apples, a word game she uses to teach English vocabulary. Try as she might, Nelson couldn’t convey the meaning of one word − Cheetos − even with the help of hand gestures.

She solved the problem by pulling up a picture of a Cheetos bag on her phone.

“Ohhhh. Cheetos,” they said, in a chorus, as she passed the phone around.

Nelson, a member of the Laurel Church of Christ, 3457 Kingston Pike, teaches at the church’s FriendSpeak conversational English program. The program began after students at the Christian Student Center, the church’s UT campus ministry headquarters, began hosting Thanksgiving

Church member Danny Brewer recalls that seven students attended the first class on Jan. 16, 1991 − the day of the first air attacks in the Gulf War. Initially, the program offered formal classes on a variety of subjects, from geology to

American culture. But the students preferred one-onone time with church members in order to practice English and develop relationships.

While Brewer, a founding member of Brewer Ingram Fuller Architects, enjoys his career, the role he’s played in the FriendSpeak program has been even more reward-

The program began with international students in mind, but it now serves a growing number of refugees, immigrants and workers from foreign countries, says Doug Woodall, a FriendSpeak coordinator.

He calls the program “friendship evangelism.”

He’s found that conversation partners are more open to learning about the Bible once they’ve gotten to know of Christ FriendSpeak English their American partners and seen how they live their lives.

Not only have Vickie and William spent time at the home of Norris and his wife, Salli, but the Clines have visited them at their permanent home in Hangzhou in the Zhejiang province of China. The Clines make regular trips to China and plan to return in May. Salli is surprised by how quickly a bond develops between partners. She recently planned to take a break from the program, but agreed to meet with a grandmother from Iran. By the end of the evening, they were good friends. She has given up on taking a break.

“By the end of the session, I can’t wait for the next one,” she says.

Community pitches in at St. George church

By Carolyn Evans Community help came early – on Day 1.The outpouring from the community to St. George Greek Orthodox Church is continuing and is heartwarming, says Father Anthony Stratis.

On the morning of the fire on April 12, community members began to show up to help and comfort the astonished and heartbroken parishioners of St. George church, and the support has come from all over the area and across denominational lines, he says.

By Monday, approximately 100 people gathered at the church on Kingston Pike. The majority was church members, but some were not. They moved between buildings and around firefighters to try to save water-damaged books.

They pushed wheelbarrows full of cinders and ash. They rubbed the soot off the myriad church artifacts.

Emily Faust was among the church members there, and she went to Elder’s Ace Hardware to buy a couple of push brooms and snow shovels to help remove wreckage at the church. As she paid for the brooms, the manager sent someone to the back to get snow shovels.

“While he was in the back looking, people were talking,” says Faust. “When the manager realized the purchase was for St. George, he gave me the snow shovels for free and asked if we needed any help. He said he would send some employees down.”

The employees came, worked until lunch, and then came back with more employees to help.

“They worked all day,” says church secretary Theodora McCulloch. “We’ve had area churches offer to send people to help clean up, and we’ve had churches as far away as West Virginia and Memphis offer to send people.”

Two local Catholic churches stepped in to lend vestments for the dozen altar boys who take part in the service. An elaborate icon screen is being shipped from Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Columbia, S.C., for St. George to use in their makeshift chapel in the gym.

Stratis says he appreciates the support from other local clergy.

“I’ve had a good two dozen from various denominations and faiths call or come by with offers to help any way they could, from the use of facilities to vestments,” says Stratis. They have included a visit from Bishop Richard Stika of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville. The Greek Orthodox bishop, His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios of Atlanta (Anthimos Panagiotopoulos Metropolitan Alexios), presided over the first service after the fire.

This isn’t the first disaster that Stratis has weathered. His church in New Orleans thought they had dodged a bullet when Hurricane Katrina came through

Edward Terry Sanford (1865-1930) HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

H

is early academic achievements had forecast success in life. Fulfilling that prophecy, he would become an influential Tennessee attorney, a civic leader, an orator who could persuade an audience, a judge and a U.S. Supreme Court justice. He was the only Knoxville native and the only University of Tennessee graduate to ascend to that high office.

Edward Terry Sanford was born in Knoxville on July 23, 1865, just months after the Civil War ended.

He was the oldest of six surviving children of Edward Jackson Sanford (1831-1902) and Emma Chavannes Sanford (1841-1895).

His father was a Connecticut native who had come to Knoxville in 1853 to work as a carpenter. He fell in love with the city and soon achieved success and became a partner in a lumber company. When many fled the city during the cholera epidemic in 1854, he stayed behind to care for the sick and help bury the dead at great risk to his health.

In 1860, he met and married Emma Chavannes, the daughter of Charles Adrian and Anna Chavannes.

Charles was the leader of the Swiss colonists who left Europe in 1849 to settle in Knox County. His son Albert would produce the first sociological journal in the U.S., and Albert’s son Adrian L. Chavannes would

found the Chavannes Lumber Co. and become one of the leading mill operators and lumber dealers in the county. His grandson Ed Chavannes would later become mayor of Knoxville.

The young Sanford couple had been married only one year when the Confederate Army seized Knoxville and Edward fled to Kentucky to join the Union Army. When he contracted pneumonia and Judge Edward T. Sanford was was rejected, named to the U.S. Supreme Court he returned to in 1923. his hometown in Connecticut to recover.

Two years later, when Gen. as president, Albers as vice Ambrose Burnside’s Union president and Chambertroops arrived in Knoxville lain as secretary-treasurer, in early September 1863, achieved an annual gross of Burnside asked him to su- $200,000-300,000, makpervise the erection of a ing it one of the leaders in bridge, and Sanford was still the industry.

The growing wholesale present for the Battle of Fort drug company and his othSanders in November.

With the war over in er sound investments in 1865, the booming local the local economy enabled economy enabled him to Edward J. and Emma Sanincrease his business inter- ford to provide an excellent ests, and he founded the E.J. education for their children.

Sanford Co., a wholesale Their oldest son, Edward drug company, and grew T., was poised to take full the company quickly. The advantage of his opportuniopportunity arose to merge ties.

He entered the Preparawith two other Union veterans who had settled in Knox tory Department of East County, A.J. Albers and Tennessee University as W.P. Chamberlain. By 1897, a junior in 1876 at only 11 Sanford, Chamberlain and years of age, requiring a Albers Co., with Sanford waiver of the usual require-

ments (“age 14, able to read, write and spell well, grounded in arithmetic, English, grammar and geography”). When offered the option of pursuing either the Agricultural, Mechanical or Classical course, he chose the Classical course.

His evaluation at the end of the first of his three years read, “He was a conscientious student, neither absent nor tardy, accumulated no demerits and earned a perfect or near perfect score in all academic subjects.” The next two years proceeded well also.

The U.S. Congress had passed the Morrill Act in 1862 when Tennessee was a Confederate state, but Congress passed a special act in 1867 enabling Tennessee to become eligible. The East Tennessee University received the Land Grant designation in 1869, and the state Legislature renamed it the University of Tennessee in 1879 just in time for Edward T. Sanford to matriculate.

Again he had to obtain a waiver as he was only 14 and the requirement was age 16.

The Morrill Act required instruction in military tactics adding to his course load.

However, he achieved an exemplary record and was awarded the Class Certifi-

cate of Distinction and an Honorary Scholarship in his freshman year.

He achieved the rank of 3rd Sergeant and became a Distinguished Undergraduate in his sophomore year.

As a junior he became a 2nd Lieutenant and attained a Certificate of Distinction in Mathematics, Surveying, Chemistry, Physiology, Zoology and Philology. He was certified in Pure Mathematics and Ancient Languages and was promoted to Captain and Adjutant of the Corps of Cadets.

His senior year ended with another Certificate of Distinction, this time in Mechanics, Astronomy, Political Economy, Mental and Moral Science, History, Biology and Geology. He was a member of the Delta Literary Society, served as manager of the DLS publication, The Monthly Crescent, and graduated in 1883 with both the A.B. and Ph.B. degrees.

Knowing he wanted to make a career in the law and, knowing that he “wanted to carry his mind and career beyond the contemporary Knoxville Lawyers,” he chose a different path than most at that time who “read law” in the office of a practicing attorney. His father had wanted him to at-

tend Harvard, and Edward enrolled there as a junior in the Literary Department.

Mirroring his success at UT, he graduated from Harvard in 1885 with a B.A. degree in political science, magna cum laude, and was selected Class Day Orator.

He returned to Harvard Law School, but only after studying languages and economics in Germany and France for a year. Still only 21 years old, he led his class at the end of the first year and at the end of the course.

The Harvard Law Review was founded during his first year and, when its fourth number was published, Edward T. Sanford was its editor. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1889 and received an M.A. and an LL.B. cum laude.

He now had five earned degrees. When he was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Warren G. Harding in 1923, someone would observe, “Sanford is the most educated justice ever appointed to the Supreme Court.”

Next month’s Part II will explore his community service and his professional career in the law that provided the additional credentials that fitted him for that high office.

A fond farewell to

By Carol Shane This week marks maestro Lucas Richman’s final concerts with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. The busy composer/conductor is on to new adventures in Maine, where he’s now maestro of the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, and elsewhere.

He’s eagerly anticipating CD releases of three of his compositions, including his spectacular piano concerto, premiered here in Knoxville during the 2013-2014 season.

He’s launching his own website, www.lucasrichman. com, and looking forward to another world premiere of one of his compositions in June, a music festival in July, and a workshop – BMI’s “Conducting for the Film Composer” – in Los Angeles in August.

The man never stops.

But Richman is in town this week and feeling reflective about his time in Knoxville. What moments and performances stand out for him during the past 12 years? He says, “It would be very difficult to make a short list. However, I would have to include our ‘Amadeus’ and ‘Sweeney Todd’ collaborations with the Clarence Brown Theatre; conducting Aaron Copland’s ‘A Lincoln Portrait’ with my father, Peter Mark Richman, serving as the narrator; ‘Peter and the Wolf’ with Ed Grimley (Martin Short) as the narrator; recording [his original] song, ‘We Share a Bond,’ for breast cancer awareness.”

He also names among his fondest memories “each time we hired a new member to the orchestra’s roster.”

Richman’s most lasting legacy will no doubt be his “Music and Wellness” initiative.

“There is no question

that the power of music can extend beyond the concert hall and touch our daily lives in whatever we do, providing multiple benefits as a source of healing and therapy,” he says. “I knew from my experiences in ‘Music and Wellness’ in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh that it was important for us to introduce it to the Knoxville community.”

At first there was much uncertainty among KSO staff members about how the program might be developed locally. “But,” Richman says, “after we had had a meeting that brought our symphony musicians together with health-care professionals, we were able to begin shaping a collaborative program that could serve the needs of the patients, caregivers, visitors and musicians alike.”

Richman says that the response over the past 10 years “has been incredibly positive on the part of all the participants.” He hopes the program will expand and that other communities might consider incorporating some of the ideas into

Or is it: Come for the lemon cookies, stay for the ham?

Whatever it is that keeps customers coming back to Ham ’n Goody’s, 314 S. Northshore Drive, it has been working for the locally owned company since 1979. Leroy and Cookie (Emily) Shoemaker opened the bakery and sandwich shop, and the family still runs it. Hams, turkeys and other meats are available by the pound and are delicious, but it’s the sandwich shop and desserts that are highlighted here.

Ham ’n Goody’s lemon cookies have a following that reaches across the nation. Numerous magazine and newspaper stories have mentioned them, the most recent being 2014 in Vanity Fair, which featured the lemon cookies under its Cult Favorites section. They are holiday traditions for many Knoxville families and a must-have every

Photo by Carol Shane their own health-care institutions. “If our artistic mission is to embrace the central idea of touching the entire community inside and outside of the concert hall through the power of music, the ‘Music and Wellness’ program is clearly helping to fulfill that goal.”

And then there’s Picardy Penguin.

Even if you don’t know who he is, there’s a good chance your elementaryschool-age children might.

The big bright cartoon character is the star of Richman’s “Very Young People’s Concerts” and is responsible for introducing thousands of area youngsters to the basics of music.

Projected on a screen above the orchestra, he sings, he dances, he takes pratfalls – all that good stuff. Kids howl so much at his antics that they don’t even realize they’re learning.

“When children are exposed to music in early childhood they feel more comfortable express-

ing themselves in artistic modes or even non-artistic modes,” Richman says. He believes that when children learn to express themselves through the arts, they are more likely to grow up to be well-adjusted adults.

“It is imperative,” he stresses, “that we devote an ever-increasing amount of energy into educating children and adults, pressing home the point that art and music are needed, in fact, as a fundamental basic in life.”

After this week he’ll return to Maine, where wife Debbie and son Max are happily settled in a big, airy house in the woods.

Next season, the KSO will perform under an array of impressive conductors, and musicians and board members will choose the next maestro. But for now they’re bidding a fond farewell to Lucas Richman.

“A life without music,” he says, “is a life devoid of color and interest.”

Ham ’n Goody’s

By Mystery Diner

weekender

time Mystery Diner sets foot in the bakery.

The best specialty sandwiches at Ham ’n Goody’s build on the bakery’s strengths: wonderfully baked ham and turkey and fresh, soft homemade bread. There’s a good Reuben and a vegetarian, but we chose the Cisco. The best thing about the Cisco is that it takes away the hardest part of eating at the bakery: deciding between ham and turkey.

The soft wheat bread is piled with honey ham, basted turkey breast, melted smoked cheddar and Swiss cheeses, mayo, lettuce and tomato and has a dill pickle on the side. The cranberry salad is the perfect accompaniment, but you can pick the pasta salad or fresh fruit cup if you want.

Desserts will drive you crazy, and there isn’t a bad one in the case.

Choose whatever dessert strikes your fancy to eat there and get a few lemon cookies to go. Don’t leave without a lemon cookie.

I’m serious. Just don’t.

Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron join forces in “Mad Max: Fury Road.”

Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, front, face new obstacles in “Pitch Perfect 2.”

‘Mad Max’ reboots; ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ resounds

By Betsy Pickle ’Tis the season for sequels and remakes, and we get one of each this week.

OK, so technically, “Mad Max: Fury Road” isn’t a remake of either the original “Mad Max” (1979) or its sequel, “The Road Warrior” (1981).

Instead, director George Miller describes it as a reboot. But fans of the original trilogy (which also includes 1985’s “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”) have some high standards for this new version to attempt to match.

Tom Hardy stars as Max Rockatansky, a man of action and few words driving the bleak post-apocalyptic landscape in search of peace of mind after losing his wife and child.

Charlize Theron plays Imperator Furiosa, a woman of action trying to reach the peace of her childhood homeland. Together, they may be able to restore some order to the chaos of their times.

The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult and Zoe Kravitz.

“Pitch Perfect 2” reunites the Barden Bellas in a comic story of redemption. After a disastrous performance at Lincoln Center, the a cappella group enters an international

competition never won before by an American group. They hope to restore their reputation and standing, but their mission has multiple obstacles.

The sequel marks the full-lengthfeature-directing debut of Elizabeth Banks. If she’s as good at directing comedies as she is acting in them (“Zack and Miri Make a Porno”), “Pitch Perfect 2” could be a hoot. The film stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Alexis Knapp, Brittany Snow, Katey Sagal and Banks.

Also opening this week is “Where Hope Grows,” a feel-good movie about faith and ability.

Kristoffer Polaha plays a baseball player whose career fell victim to his personal problems. He gets a new perspective on life when he meets an upbeat grocery-store worker with Down syndrome.

Also starring are David DeSanctis, Danica McKellar, William Zabka, Kerr Smith and Brooke Burns. Chris Dowling (“Rock Slyde”) directed.

Mutual admiration

Last week during National Teacher Appreciation Week, Northshore Elementary School secondgrade teacher Laura Maynard received Laura Maynard s ome t h i ng extra special from student Ayush Doshi.

Ayush won the Tennessee Department of Education’s second annual essay and scholarship competition “Why I’m Thankful for My Teacher.” He submitted an adorable video explaining why “if you have Mrs. Maynard, you are one lucky kid.”

The video can be seen on Knox County Schools’ website (I highly recommend watching). The video was played Wednesday for the entire school.

Maynard was surprised to find out she was the subject of the winning video essay. Both student and teacher received $700 each in prize money.

Junior Achievement changes lives

By Anne Hart The nearly 16,000 students in both public and private schools across East Te n n e s s e e who were involved with Junior Achievement (JA) last year had an exChip Reed perience that gave them important tools they can use to be successful in the business world.

And their Junior Achieve-

ment teachers? Men and women who have already reached that goal. Volunteers like the members of the Rotary Club of Bearden, JA president for East Tennessee, Chip Reed, said at the club’s meeting last week.

“One of the things we are doing is connecting today’s generation of successful people with tomorrow’s,” he told the group.

And while working with those nearly 16,000 students is rewarding, there are more than 100,000 in

UT vet school turns out 2,200 grads

By Bonny C. Millard In the world of veterinary medicine, women far outnumber men pursuing a career in this field, if the University of Te n ne s s e e College of Thompson Veter inar y Medicine is any indication.

Women make up 80 percent of the students coming into the school, Dean Jim Thompson said.

“The number of women applying to veterinary school is increasing yearly.”

Thompson spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville, providing an overview of the school and its history.

The school has more than doubled the number of students accepted into the program since its first group of 40 students in 1976.

The program, which has a graduation rate of about 90 percent, has graduated 35 classes and produced 2,200 veterinarians.

“Across the nation, there are only 86,000 veterinarians. So there aren’t very many,” said Thompson, whose discussion was laced

with humor. “You could take every veterinarian in the United States, and they could all watch the Volunteers play football on Saturday.”

The college has several areas of focus including teaching students to become excellent veterinarians, serving as a resource to practicing veterinarians, treating patients with quality care and researching new ways to treat animals and people, he said.

In addition, the college has four different hospitals: equine, farm, small and exotic animals.

“There was a time when we brought the lions and tigers into the large animal hospital. If you were a horse,” he said, pausing, drawing loud laughter from the audience. “Even though you would have the cage, just the smell of a big cat would stress out the horse population. So we recognized a need to build a bay and exotic animal hospital that was away from the horses so we could separate the populations.”

Thompson encouraged audience members to visit the school during its annual open house, usually in April.

the 17-county area served

by Reed’s group “who need us but we can’t reach.” More volunteers are needed and more schools need to involve their students, he said.

Reed said that Junior Achievement started out as an after-school program, but is now in classrooms K-12.

Nationwide, the organization reached more than four million students with role models last year.

“We teach workforce readiness – basic business skills. We work on financial literacy, work readiness and

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Therapy helps stroke patient recover with style Jane Everett, 70, a hair stylist in Lenoir City, calls herself a stroke survivor.

“I like that word, because I survived,” said Everett, who attends the monthly Stroke Support Group at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. “It doesn’t mean you don’t have frustration.

But you want that in the past tense, and you want to move on.

And I feel like we are (survivors), I really do.”

On the morning of April 21, 2014, Everett collapsed in her garage after buckling one of her granddaughters, 4-year-old C.J., into her car seat. Her husband, Charlie Everett, called 911, while C.J. held her grandmother’s hand.

Unable to talk or move, Jane Everett had one thought. “I thought, I am not leaving these babies and my daughter and husband,” she said. “I didn’t know you could make a decision like that, but at that moment I did.”

The Everetts are no strangers to medical emergencies. In 1981 Charlie Everett had a diving accident and broke his C6 vertebra.

He is paralyzed from the chest down, although he has use of his hands and arms. He learned to use a wheelchair for mobility at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, which had opened only three years before his accident.

“He just had such courage, he really did,” said Jane Everett of her husband of 52 years. “We have adjusted, although the first 10 years were tough, because he was such an athletic man. Now I’m glad we’ve made it.”

After her stroke, Everett received emergency medical care at Parkwest Medical Center, which stabilized her and gave her the clot-busting drug tPA. Doctors then sent her to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to have the blood clot removed, a highly specialized treatment.

After a week in the hospital, there was no question about

Jane and Charlie Everett at their Lenoir City home. Both have been patients at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.

Jane Everett, right, in her beauty salon, Hair Originals & Wigs in Lenoir City, with her assistant Donna Hartline. Everett lost part of her hair after her stroke. Today she helps other women with medical hair loss find beautiful wigs for their recovery. She also sells fashion clip-in extensions and weaves. “I think wigs are on the verge of making a huge comeback,” she said.

where Everett would go for therapy: Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.

“When I got there my left side was completely paralyzed. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t move my left arm at all, or my left hand. It was drawn up to my chest,” said Everett.

“The first morning out, they got me up and into the shower,” said Everett. “They start teaching you how to take care of yourself immediately.

“At Patricia Neal, you have therapy five hours a day, and it’s

all parts of your body and your mind and emotions, and your attitude,” said Everett. “Those therapists were phenomenal.

They encouraged you, no matter what.”

With Jane Everett being so sick, Charlie Everett stepped into the caregiver role.

“My daughter and Charlie both have been so compassionate and caring and helpful. He took it for

granted I would always be here to take care of him, and so did I.” Having a husband in a wheelchair put things in perspective, she said.

“I’d look at my husband and think I’m so upset because my arm isn’t working, but what’s it like to wake up and nothing works from the neck down? It’s given me a lot more compassion for his situation.”

After three weeks at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and a year of continuing outpatient therapy at Parkwest Therapy Center closer to her home, Everett has begun to do some hair styling work again. Her salon, Hair Originals, is in her basement. Everett’s assistant and a friend who is a retired hair stylist kept the business going while she recovered.

“I have loved every moment of my career. I love doing hair,” said Everett. “It lets me create, and I have relationships with these people. A lot of my clients were with me when I moved here 35 years ago. I miss that camaraderie, that hands-on designing.”

While still working to regain full dexterity in her hand, Everett has found a new way of working in the field. For reasons she doesn’t know, Everett’s hair fell out in clumps after her stroke.

It’s beginning to grow back, but she bought and wears a wig. Today she helps other women with medical hair loss find wigs that look good on them. She also sells fun clip-on extensions, bangs and clip-in colored streaks as well.

“I feel like it’s a way for me to be able to carry on in my career without as much physical stress to the body,” she said. “I also think there’s something about wanting to give back to people. I have felt a lot of frustration and fear, and I think if you’ve been there you have more of an understanding.

“I’m not sure something good comes out of everything, but I do believe that what we classify as bad or tragic can sometimes be the best challenges of our lives. I think we have that choice,” said Everett.

“We are so fortunate in Knoxville to have the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. They are so professional, all the way. That’s what gets you to where I am today,” she said.

Customized therapy for local rehabilitation patients There is no “one-size-fits-all” therapy program at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.

“Each patient has their own therapy program designed just for them,” said Ashley Hamilton, senior recreational therapist. From doctors and nurses to therapists of every specialty, a team of experts works together to find what each patient needs.

“The first day or two a patient is here, we’ll spend time doing evaluations so that the therapists and doctors will get a baseline of where the patient is functionally,” said Hamilton.

“Physical therapy works on mobility, like walking up stairs and using a wheelchair. Speech

therapists assess the patient’s cognitive level, memory, auditory comprehension, verbal expression and problem solving skills,” she said.

“Recreational therapy evaluates quality of life and leisure interests prior to the stroke. What

Ashley Hamilton, senior recreational therapist at PNRC, spent time in Guatemala, where she worked with the Wheels for the World program.

were their hobbies and how can we help them get back to that?

And occupational therapy helps them with things like eating, bathing, dressing and using the restroom.”

Together the team and the patient set short- and long-term goals. “The patient’s long-term goal might be to reel a fishing pole again. So our goal is to strengthen the muscles necessary to do that,” Hamilton said.

“Most people say I want to walk again. Or I want to be able to stand up, or I just want to get better and go home.

“The therapists customize a treatment program for that patient based on the goals, and the

next several weeks of therapy are spent trying to attain those goals,” she said. “If the patient’s goal is to stand up but they’re not ready, they’ll work on muscles necessary to stand. They’ll do leg exercise and stretching first.”

The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center helps patients with a wide variety of medical needs, from stroke and cancer patients to brain and spinal cord injuries and amputations.

“We have people coming in with all different abilities,” said Hamilton. “Everybody’s goals are different. Therapy will be difficult for all, but it’ll be worth it.”

health & lifestyles NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

Finding his footing This July, John Gardner plans to do a 10k road race in Atlanta.

Last July, his left leg was amputated below the knee.

“I’m ahead of the curve,” the Edward Jones financial advisor said. “It’s a tough battle, but it’s all about attitude. I was determined this was going to be a plus for me.”

Since 2000, Gardner had been battling an injury caused by a tree that crushed his ankle. After repeated surgeries to reattach the ankle and save the joint, Gardner’s left leg was an inch and a half shorter than his right. He suffered from extreme pain and severely decreased mobility.

“I found myself walking from chair to chair,” he explained. He decided to have an elective amputation after a friend asked him why he wasn’t pursuing it. “She was the catalyst who started this.

I wish I’d done it years ago,” Gardner said. “I decided if I’m going to do this, I’m going to do it right.”

After meeting a local amputee support group and being referred to C. Scott Callicut, MD, Parkwest surgeon, Gardner had his lower left leg amputated July 22, 2014.

He was fitted with a prosthetic leg and started physical therapy soon after.

“John was using a walker 100 percent of the time when he first came to me,” Margaret Keele, PT, DPT, Parkwest Therapy Center physical therapist, said. “We had to work on a lot of strengthening exercises, because the left leg had become so weak after being injured for so long.”

Keele and Gardner worked on walking independently, climbing stairs and walking across obstacles and on uneven terrain. In addition to coming to the Therapy Center three times a week, Gardner was expected to continue exercises at home. As part of the recovery process, his prosthetic leg was adjusted and changed. He is now on his fourth prosthesis.

“When I ran into issues, Mar-

Beyond Keele and his prosthetist, Gardner found support at Gardner and Keele worked on repetitions of home from his wife, Donna, and strengthening exercises, like stepping up and down. in the community at the Therapy Center. “I went to therapy for a long time, and other therapists would come over to me and say something positive or congratulate me on my progress,” he said. “People don’t realize how much that means. I remember when I walked my first mile – it hurt and it was trying, but it was a huge accomplishment.

Therapists can help identify weaknesses and move you more quickly through the process.”

In addition to working with Keele at the Therapy Center, Gardner is taking swimming lessons at Fort Sanders Health and Fitness Center and has begun adaptive rock climbing classes. He rides a bike and can run and walk without external support. He continues to set goals, like the road race in the summer and a possible triathlon in the future.

“It’s hugely important to set a long term goal you want to achieve,” Keele said. “John has had an amazing attitude about everything and is positive every time he comes here.

He’s doing better now than he was before the amputation and can be so much more active.”

“Now I know if I can’t do something, it’s not because of my leg,” Gardner explained.

“It’s because I’m out of shape, but I can fi x that.

I’m pretty confident, but I know I have a long road ahead.
